MATTHEW ANTHONY PEREZ
Howdy, my name is Matthew Perez. Originally from Houston, I graduated from Texas A&M in December 2022 with a degree in Civil Engineering. It was at TAMU that I both fell in love with the Diocese of Austin and had my calling to the priesthood. God put into my heart a burning passion to give Him my whole life in service, and by entering seminary, I hope to grow closer to Christ and help others in my diocese grow in love of Him through the Eucharist and scripture. I am thrilled to begin my first year here at HTS!
